Becoming the Swordmaster Rank Young Lord of the Sichuan Tang Family Chapter 317

Episode 316. Yuhee

The horizontal swordsmanship displayed by Magwangcheonju was extremely fast. It was to the point where the once renowned Jeomchang’s quick swordsmanship came to mind in an instant.

‘… … That son of a bitch.’

Okyeon raised her hand to her sword, glared at him with her eyes wide open, and cursed inwardly.

At this moment, there were only four high-ranking officials in this place: Okyeon, Cheongmyeong, Hakyu, and Hakun.

Even putting aside the fact that Hakun was injured and had difficulty using his original martial arts skills, there were three peerless masters standing guard.

The unrivaled realm━ Those who have reached the state of creation have extremely fast ability to receive and transmit true energy. The moment they make up their mind, true energy comes and goes. Naturally, their ability to sense with energy, the sense of energy, is also extremely developed. They are extremely sensitive and can sense any sign, so it is generally said that their senses have reached the realm of precognition.

In other words, if Okyeon, Cheongmyeong, or Hakyu had been in the sword attack range just a moment ago, or if Ma Gwangcheonju had used the magic fiber energy, they would have been able to respond without delay. They would have sensed the killing energy or the sharp energy of the sword itself and moved. Or, in the split second it inevitably took to sharpen their will and implement the fiber energy, they would have found a way to block it. Either by mobilizing the sword energy or the self-defense fiber energy.

Hana Magwangcheonju used only his sword energy to implement a horizontal sword strike. After momentarily dulling the energies of the Hwakyung masters with the magic energy he had already laid down, he swung his sword, targeting only the Hwasanpa Okja Bae Taoists.

“… … .”

Even though the four brothers were brutally slaughtered by the sword of Magwangcheonju, Okyeon couldn’t pull out her sword. She couldn’t even vent her anger. Magwangcheonju, who had poured out his sword like lightning, now held down his sword with a graceful movement as if it was time.

Okyeon judged coolly. It was regrettable, but there was no benefit to continuing the battle. There were still disciples of Jongnam who had little achievements and were injured. Their lives would be lost in vain if Magwangcheonju swung his sword like before at any moment. If they were to die, there would be no future for Jongnam. It would be as if the lineage had been completely cut off. Jongnam Jangmun Geomjong Hakyu and his disciple Geomjeol Hakun were still there, but what if they too were to fall into the hands of Magwangcheonju here?

‘… … That’s when it really ends.’

So, if there is no will to continue the battle over there, it would be wise to stop here━ Okyeon thought so. Hakyu seemed to have reached the same conclusion. He was unable to draw his sword while watching her expression.

“dare……!”

Cheongmyeong belatedly stepped forward and tried to draw his sword, but Okyeon stopped him with one hand and muttered to herself as if talking to her. Be careful.

“Hwasan Sword Flower, Jade Lotus.”

Magwangcheonju, who finished his swordsmanship, added while calling out the names. You’re quick to grasp the topic. Is it because you have such a clever tongue?

“Don’t be mistaken. Jongnam and Hwasan… … Not killing you right now is just an extension of my amusement.”

Not even realizing that I was showing mercy, you are making such a foolish threat! ━ The Lord of Heavenly Magwang laughed and said.

“If you want to follow your disciples, then draw your sword. I will send you without delay.”

“… … Magwangcheonju. Just a moment ago, you told us not to leave the land of Juksan.”

Despite the words of the Magwangcheonju that seemed to be making a fuss, instead of Okyeon who could not bring herself to draw her sword and just gritted her teeth, Hakyu opened her mouth.

“What is your intention in saying that? If we promise not to leave Juksan, are you planning to ignore us and let us go?”

Hak-yu asked half-heartedly. Judging from what Magwangcheonju had said and the attitude he had shown so far, it seemed like he had no intention of heading to Sacheon or fighting them. No, to be exact, he seemed to have changed his mind after trying to kill Jongnam and Hwasan here. After hearing that the main force of Mu-dang and Jeongcheon-maeng had headed to Gwiju instead of Sacheon.

“Jongnam Sword School (終南劍宗)”

Magwangcheonju continued speaking, staring intently at the water drop-shaped pattern embroidered on the sleeve of the school uniform.

“It is as you said. I hope that you will not leave the land of Juksan. I intend to watch to see if that child, Gwakyeon, will achieve achievements worthy of becoming the next Magwangcheonju. I am saying that you should not interfere with the direction of affairs in Sacheon.”

“until when……?”

“Until news came that the Sacheondang family had been destroyed.”

“… … The Guo Jia army may have withdrawn.”

“Retreat? No, that won’t happen. She’s not that stupid. With the Silver Bell with her, there’s a good chance of winning. If she’s ambitious, she’ll try to seize this opportunity. Even if it means giving up half her life.”

Ma Gwang-cheon-ju answered decisively. There was no way that Kwak Hwa-young herself would allow the army to return. Since the man who knew her personality best was so certain, Hak-yu could not argue any further.

After a moment of silence, Hakyu continued to ask.

“So, are you planning to head to Guizhou?”

“No. If you are to be bound to this land, I cannot leave my seat.”

“… … Even though your wife in Guizhou might be in danger?”

“Shouldn’t you be able to overcome that level of danger on your own? These days, the Five Great Powers, the Magical Three Kingdoms… … have given you their unsparing support to the point where you can be so renowned. I can’t stand by and watch over you forever. Whether you have hidden strength or are relying on the help of the Confucian family, I believe you will survive on your own.”

And━ Magwangcheonju continued speaking with a cold expression.

“It’s not a bad thing for the second son that she’s becoming a commoner now. It’ll eliminate his useless weaknesses.”

“… … How harsh.”

After saying that, Hak-yu exchanged brief glances with Ok-yeon.

In the event that Jeongcheonmyeong’s military commander Zhuge Changxin were to encounter Magwangcheonju, there were two things he asked of them.

To save his life by revealing the whereabouts of the shaman and the main force of the Jeongcheon Alliance, and to guide the Magwangcheonju to Gwiju, not Sacheon.

It was not possible to completely fulfill his request. Because he had offended Magwangcheonju, all of the elders of the Hwasanpa Okja Bae had died, and Magwangcheonju had also expressed his intention not to go to Guizhou even though his wife was in danger.

However, if you think about it carefully, it was a situation where you could protect the really important things. You could not lose even one of the peerless masters who were more important than anything else in the Battle of Jeongma, and Magwangcheonju did not head to Guizhou, but what Zhuge Changxin repeatedly asked was to not let him head to Sichuan. In the end, the point was to buy time for Sichuan.

‘How about we stop here? I understand your resentment, but it seems best to wait for another day.’

Hak-yu looked at Ok-yeon with that meaning, and Ok-yeon bit her lips, nodded deeply, and took her hands off the sword. Only Cheong-myeong was holding onto the sword tightly while looking at the bodies of the four students with burning eyes.

“I promise.”

Hakyu said.

“Magwangcheonju Yeonjunghyuk. As you said, we will not leave Juksan as of now.”

“That’s the way it should be. To prolong my remaining life even a little.”

“You told us to stay until we heard news of the destruction of the Sacheondang family, but from our perspective, we expect the Tang family to defeat the Guo family… … .”

“If the owner of the Tang family has skills comparable to those of a Shaolin abbot, then that might be possible.”

“… … !”

At Ma Guang Tian Zhou’s words, Hak Yu looked very surprised. While retreating, they heard various news from Zhuge Chang Xin. Of course, among them were things about the situation in Henan. Thanks to the detailed explanation of how Shaolin was destroyed and how the Buddhist sects scattered across Henan were also in disarray, they were able to find out that it was not Ma Guang Tian Zhou, but someone wearing a silver mask who had harmed the Shaolin abbot.

As a student, this was a scene that could not help but remind me of the ‘Golden Bell’ that had attacked Jongnam. He too was wearing a golden mask that covered half of his face.

But just a moment ago, Magwangcheonju had said that since the ‘Silver Bell’ would be with Guo Jia’s army, the chances of victory were high. At the time, he just let it slide, but the moment he mentioned the Shaolin abbot, Hak-yu realized. Just like the Golden Bell━ there was another peerless master who was serving as the receiver of Magwangcheonju’s guard… …!

‘Dangerous.’

Concerns about Danggaju Dokbong Dang Jihye suddenly arise. It hasn’t been that long since she ascended to the level of Johwagyeong. Before Jeongcheonmaengju Dang Yuanming took the position of Sogaju in her family, the real power in the Dangga was the elders. Therefore, the period that Dang Jihye stayed in the level of the peerless world was probably only about a year at most. It is highly likely that she has not reached the level of refining her qi.

However, based on what he experienced, Geumryeong was not only a level of refining his energy, but also a level that easily overwhelmed other peerless masters. He was an absurdly strong man.

And if Eun-ryeong is also a person who has achieved similar achievements as Geum-ryeong━

‘The Tang family has no choice but to be destroyed. Unless there is some miracle… … .’

Only then did Hak-yu feel like he understood why Magwang Heavenly Lord was so confident in the destruction of the Sacheon Dang family and could be at ease. The only variable that Magwang Heavenly Lord had not considered was the fact that there were three peerless masters in the Dang family: Geumgang Daeseung (金剛大僧) Ja-un, Kunlun Demon Immortal Gok-un, and Bokma Geom-seon (伏魔劍仙) Tae-heo… … .

‘It’s hopeless. Ambassador Zu Yun is said to have suffered irreparable injuries and cannot fully display his former prowess, and Ma Sun and Geom Sun also need to heal their internal injuries. In the first place, the plan was to send Ma Gwang Cheon Ju to Gui Ju to buy them time to recover… ‘

Even though Hak-yu was clearly open, he felt as if his vision had gone dark. Just like the darkened landscape caused by the magic energy of the Magwangcheonju, the future of the right path also seemed extremely bleak.

Meanwhile.

Yeon Jung-hyuk opened his mouth again, not caring whether Hakyu was frustrated or not.

“After destroying Shaolin, I suddenly had this thought. After establishing the Demonic World, I will be very bored for a long time. I have mastered the Heavenly Demonic Art, so there will be no one who dares to oppose me. Among those who have entered the Demonic Art.”

“… … .”

“That’s why I want to give you guys a chance to follow the right path. Concentrate all your powers on this land, Juksan. After that, I will decide whether to fight with you.”

“Are you planning to have a grand battle… …?”

“That’s right. Don’t you want to make a last-ditch effort anyway? Since we can eliminate those who claim to be our own power in one fell swoop, our understanding is somewhat aligned.”

“… … .”

“Don’t worry. I don’t need your consent anyway. As I said before, no matter what happens in Sacheon and Gwiju, I will not intervene and will stay here in Juksan. Geomhwa Okyeon, Geomjong Hakyu, Geomjeol Hakyun… … and the unripe one, was it Cheongmyeong? I command you not to leave this land. The moment you are caught by my aura, I will immediately launch an attack. If you want to hold onto even a glimmer of hope, it would be best to follow my orders obediently.”

Soon, the people from Hanam and Seomseo will come down to Boncheon, so we can set up camp while facing each other━ Yeon Junghyuk added as he opened his mouth again.

“Well then, let’s wait and see. Which side’s victory will be reported from Sacheon?”

It’s the last play━

Magwangcheonju turned around, trailing off. It seemed as if he had finished what he had to say and would not allow any objections. It felt like the characteristic temperament of someone who has reigned supreme for a long time.

Until eventually, that back view completely disappears.

The characters of Jongnam and Hwasan were unable to draw their swords until the very end.

The only elder of the Volcano Sect who had drawn his sword could barely make out the edges of his purple robe with his eyes that had lost their light and were dim.

As the corpses of the Hwasanpa Okja Bae disciples, including him, gradually grew colder.

The sunlight finally descends upon the ground. As the warmth spreads, the sky quickly becomes brighter.

The faces of those standing still remained dark.
